Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has voiced strong opposition to the construction of a pedestrian bridge over Lincoln Street, threatening to chain himself to the Capitol Plaza to prevent it from being built even though he came up with the idea.

We now know how Coloradans want -- and don't want -- to celebrate the state's 150th birthday next year. Gov. Jared Polis launched a survey last week to find out if people liked his idea for an $18 million pedestrian bridge outside the Colorado State Capitol Building.

Gov. Jared Polis dropped his plan Tuesday to build a $28.5 million pedestrian bridge on the state Capitol’s grounds after Coloradans overwhelmingly rejected the proposal in a recent survey.
